REFLECTOR FOR LAMPS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 359,794, dated March 22, 1887.

Application tiled August 3, 1855.

To all? 2071 0722 it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J ULIUS LEVY, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented a new and useful Reflector for Lamps, &c., of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in reflector lamp-shades, in which a reflector and shade is combined in one and the same article of manufacture; and it consists in the construction and combination of parts, substan tially as will be hereinafter described, and then pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l is a view in elevation of a lamp-shade embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same. Figs. 3 and 4c are views in detail or sections of neck or rim and lower edge of the body of the shade and reflector.

In carrying out my invention I construct my shade and reflector for lamps and other light-imparting devices hollow from the lower edge, A, to the upper edge or top of thence-k B, and both the upper and lower edges of the reflector are made rounding. At suitable intervals of space around both the upper edge of the neck and lower edge ofthe body of my reflector I make small apertures C, which lead into and out of the hollow space formed within. The object of this construction is threefold: first, to provide a means for the introduction of the silvering material to silver the interior of the reflector, which silvering material is introduced throughoiie' or more of the holes or apertures, and the shade shaken or revolved until thewhole interior is lined or coated with the reflecting-substance and becomes a double reflector-that is to say, a reflector having reflecting-surfaces within and without; secondly, by this construction of the shade and reflector Serial No. 173,449. (No model.)

my reflector in form of a lamp-shade; but it 1 is evident that it can be constructed of differeut sizes and various shapes, so long as it is made with double continuous walls, with apertures opening into the chamber or hollow space between the walls from the upper and lower edges thereof. hen made in the form shown, strengtheningrings D are formed around the neck, and the whole shade and reflector is supported by the usual bent-wire holder, made and applied so as not to interfere with the apertures.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Areflcctor or shade for lamps, having its body and neck portions constructed with double walls which are coated with a silvering material, and provided, also, with a series of apertures near the top of the reflector, and another series of apertures near its bottom which lead into the chamber between the said double walls, and thus allow a current of cold air to pass through it, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim theforcgoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal.
